SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

October 9, 2003, notice was published 

in the Federal Register (68 FR 58316) 

that a request for a scientific research 

permit had been submitted by the 

above-named organization. The 

requested permit has been issued under 

the authority of the Marine Mammal 

Protection Act of 1972, as amended (16 

U.S.C. 1361 et seq.), the regulations 

governing the taking and importing of 

marine mammals (50 CFR parts 18 and 

216), the Endangered Species Act of 

1973, as amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 

et seq.), and the regulations governing 

the taking, importing, and exporting of 

endangered and threatened species (50 

CFR parts 222–226). 

Sea World, Inc., has been issued a 

scientific research permit to collect, 

receive, import, and export a specified 

number of marine mammal specimens 

under the jurisdiction of NMFS and 

USFWS to study reproductive 

physiology, including endocrinology, 

gamete biology, cryophysiology, and 

assisted reproductive techniques. 

Species authorized include bottlenose 

dolphin (Tursiops truncatus), beluga 

whale (Delphinapterus leucas), killer 

whale (Orcinus orca), Pacific whitesided dolphin (Lagenorhynchus 

obliquidens), Commerson’s dolphin 

(Cephalorhynchus commersonii), shortbeaked common dolphin (Delphinus 

delphis), false killer whale (Pseudorca 

crassidens), Baiji (Lipotes vexillifer), 

Vaquita (Phocoena sinus), and walrus 

(Odobenus rosmarus). Only specimens 

collected legally and in a humane 

manner would be authorized by the 

permit. Sources of samples may include 

animals that have already died and from 

captive animals during routine 

husbandry procedures. No animals may 

be intentionally killed for the purpose of 

collecting specimens, and no money can 

be offered for the specimens. Specimens 

may be taken world-wide at anytime of 

the year for up to five years. 

In compliance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 

U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), an environmental 

assessment was prepared analyzing the 

effects of the permitted activities. After 

a Finding of No Significant Impact, the 

determination was made that it was not 

necessary to prepare an environmental 

impact statement. 

Issuance of this permit, as required by 

the ESA, was based on a finding that 

such permit: (1) Was applied for in good 

faith; (2) will not operate to the 

disadvantage of such endangered 

species; and (3) is consistent with the 

purposes and policies set forth in 

section 2 of the ESA.
